  • For individuals who are employed by an Industrial Member of TWI Ltd

Overview: The Fracture Mechanics crack size vs. cycles curve is a key tool for understanding the initiation and development of fatigue cracks.  The talk will use it to illustrate why a high level of control in manufacture is necessary for components that operate in the fatigue regime, with an emphasis on welds and the problems that can arise.

Speaker: Adrian Walker (formerly of Roll-Royce)

Speaker Biography: Adrian Walker is an ex-Rolls-Royce Material Engineer with extensive experience of life-limited, safety-critical rotating parts in large gas turbine engines, mostly in Titanium alloys.  The work involved an understanding of material and component behaviors and their relationship to manufacture then operation in the fatigue regime, and covered aspects from prior to alloy melting to the end of service life, including the development of that understanding with academia.
